3 -ff .4 4 r ,f Each one of US needs an expression of purpose, O way to test our progress toward our goal. This gesture takes different shapes, as we are different, in ideas as well as in appearance. Our expression may be a sudden artistic outburst-the pep posters on game days-or a quiet study of cloud formations during math class, lt may be getting our feet wet or the hard hours of practice for an important game. What- ever it is, this expression shows each of us to be an individual unlike any other individual here or any- where, lt points out the differences in our goals, in our method of attainment, and our attitudes toward them. Whether quiet or explosive, thoughtful or brash, our expressions are ourselves-individual re- flections of our goals and of the future and our destiny. 9 f' tm, wr Q, sh., -wif

'W' The ideals set forth in President Kennedy's message have served us well in this year at Hilltop, They have guided us through an important period of our lives: the interval when we turn our eyes from the complacency and contentment of the past to set our gaze to the promise and challenge of the future. This has been a year of growth, not only for the Sophomores who, leav- ing behind the restraints of immaturity, have begun a life of self-expression and fulfillment, but also for the Juniors and Seniors who have seen their dreams of the future begin to materialize through the pursuit of worthy ideals. We have all become more mature, some of our images, formed and cherished from childhood have been altered by our struggle to attain those ideals needed to reach our goal. Through every phase of growing up we have been guided by the principles stated in our theme: we have gained a sense of freedom of our own destiny, we have been recognized as individuals, we have been instilled with a spirit of aspiration, determination and expressioni We have become more and more aware of the obstacles which hinder our quest for our goals. We have recog- nized the meaning of Life itself-a struggle for self- respect and a goal worthy of that respect. We know we must struggle, we know we must quest, we know WE MUST CLIMB TO THE HILLTOP I
